ICYMI: Mad Cow Theatre gets that money, Orange County cops increase civil citations for juveniles, a cat-loving burglar and other things you may have missed this week

County cops lead state in juvenile arrests, despite increase in citations:

Orange County law enforcement officials say they have increased the use of civil citations given to juvenile offenders who would have otherwise been arrested, but the county is still leading the state in the number of juveniles charged with a crime. A civil citation is an alternative method of charging juveniles with non-serious misdemeanor offenses, such as fighting at school or petty theft. This fiscal year (2015-2016), 34 percent of kids got a civil citation instead of being arrested, up from 17 percent last year. But Orange County is behind other more populous areas this fiscal year, such as: Miami-Dade County, which gave citations to 91 percent of eligible juveniles and Broward County, which gave citations to 68 percent of eligible juveniles. Orange County also topped those areas, and the rest of the state, with 6,547 juvenile arrests for all offenses, including felonies, in 2015-2016.
